võnk

Võnk is an Estonian noun meaning a wobble or oscillation—specifically a small, irregular or rapid movement that occurs around a baseline motion or signal. The term is used in both everyday language and technical contexts to describe fluctuations that are noticeable but not the main motion.

In scientific and engineering usage, võnk refers to the phenomenon of short-term oscillations or jitter in systems such as mechanical components, sensors, or electronic signals. It can appear as a repeating fluctuation in displacement, velocity, voltage, or other measured quantities, often superimposed on a larger, intended motion or waveform. The word can also be attached to related verbal expressions, such as võnkuma, which conveys the act of wobbling.

The word is native to Estonian and appears in both technical writings and colloquial speech. Its exact connotations can vary with context, ranging from a precise description of vibrational behavior in engineering to a more informal sense of an unstable or shuddering movement in everyday objects.
